Belle Character Design (part 1)

I’m currently working on some character designs for the Waterstones illustration competition to help keep myself busy now that uni is over and until I’ve managed to find myself a full time job (hopefully a design one)

I’ve opted to colour these digitally as its something that I’m not hugely familiar with at the moment having only really started this year. I’ve tried to stay as far away from the Disney characters as I could without getting silly as well, which was surprisingly hard!

Here’s my basic design for Belle, I tried to keep the designs and the colour pretty simple and I’m quite pleased with the results. Hope you guys like them too!
